"Green Lantern" Review

Watched Green Lantern last night and I LOVED it!! I was afraid that Ryan Reynolds would not do a good job but he was great! He used his comedy background to add humor to the movie and it worked out greatly. The special effects were great especially since the costume was computer generated. They were creative in the use of the manifestations of the ring and kept things from being shown in the trailer, which was something I was worried about.

It is currently my favorite summer movie! Overall I would give the movie a A-! Tempted to go see it again.

The next movie to come out is Transformers: Dark of the Moon....might replace Green Lantern as my favorite movie. We shall see.

Until next time...

Upcoming Week

I'm looking forward to the upcoming week, well technically next two weeks!

This week the BCM is having a cook-out for those in Mobile. Should be pretty fun. I have a test in Spanish on Wednesday, not really looking forward to that. On Friday I'm going to go see Green Lantern and eat at Buffalo Wild Wings! I can't wait to see that movie!

The following weekend is my birthday (June 26). I already have two events lined up and ready. Should be a fun weekend for sure! Oh and Transformers: Dark of the Moon comes out June 29th!!

June has and will be a pretty fun month!

Until next time...

MTV Movie Awards

So I'm watching the MTV Movie Awards right now.

The movie awards are so biased! The winners are determined by votes sent in from the general public. The only problem with this is that every category containing anything related to Twilight, the winner is Twilight.

For example, there was the "best fight" category and there were some pretty good nominees including: Harry Potter, Inception, Twilight (2 different fights), and one other that I can't remember. One of the Twilight scenes won, even though in my opinion the Inception fight scene should of won!

This has happened in every category thus far and if Twilight is in the best movie category, I might as well not watch it. I know who is going to win.

Will be glad when that movie franchise is over with, it will give somebody else a chance to win!

"X-Men: First Class" Review

I saw X-Men: First Class today. My review: A

The story was great and the special effects were great as well. I love the x-men because it has so many great powers all in one group. This movie had so many mutants, it was great!

I also loved how the film was set in a different time period and not necessarily present day. It worked around a big moment in history, the Cold War. It worked well with this event and put a unique spin on it (not going to give it away for those who haven't seen it yet).

There was one graphic problem in a scene with Beast and there were some cheesy dialogue.

Overall very good movie.

Next two movies in the 2011 summer movie season: Super 8 & Green Lantern!

Until next time....

What a week!!

Man, what a week!

I traveled across three states starting last Saturday and made it to Mobile Sunday afternoon about 3:30 PM. I started to unpack that night. I spent Memorial Day unpacking, which consist of moving stuff from downstairs to upstairs. Tuesday was the start of class and my internship. Found out that day, that in my Spanish class, I have a test in a week....blah! We have covered 5 chapters since then and I have had a lot of homework. Wednesday was pretty chill, started to do my chores around the BCM. Went back to work in store at the bookstore. It was pretty exciting!

Thursday I a lot of errands to do and finished most of them. Also started to prepare for the pirate party I was planning on Friday. On Friday I woke up early to put things together for the party. Went to class and then to work. The party was right after work. It went very well!! We got down about 1 AM. I went to bed and woke up at around 9:30 AM and then started to clean. I've been cleaning all day and now I'm exhausted.

I am sitting here watching "Alias" and I feel like I'm brain dead. Yeah, what a week.....
